İşletmelerde Yenilik Yönetimi ve Araştırma GeliştirmePazarlama-Üretim Entegrasyonunda Bilgiye Dayalı Yenilik Yaklaşımı

Öz

Rekabetin yoğun olduğu endüstrilerde dinamik pazar yapısı, kısalan ürün yaşam eğrileri, müşteri tercih ve beklentilerinin önceden tahmin edilme zorunluluğu gibi nedenler işletmelerde sürdürülebilirliği ve bunun bir gerekliliği olan yenilik yönetimi stratejisinin varlığını ön plana çıkarmıştır. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı, bu stratejiyi destekleyen iş modellerinden biri olan ve yenilik yaratma potansiyelinde etkisi en yüksek birimlerden olan araştırma-geliştirme (Ar-Ge), pazarlama ve üretim fonksiyonlarının entegrasyonunun işletmeler açısından önemini, etkileyen faktörleri ve bu süreçte işletmeler açısından bir yol haritası niteliğinde değerlendirilebilecek bilgiye dayalı yenilik yaklaşımını (Knowledge Based Innovation) ortaya koymaktır. Keşifsel bir araştırma niteliğinde tasarlanan bu çalışmada bilgiye dayalı yenilik yaklaşımının, özellikle yoğun rekabet ortamında faaliyet gösteren işletmelere yol göstermesi ve bu süreci kendi bünyelerine uyarlamalarını kolaylaştırması anlamında faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir
